And don't forget to post the details and any tutorials for the DIY parts-- this blog is a continuing source of ideas (not to mention covetousness) for me. I recently made a smashed penny necklace that I have gotten tons of compliments on, thanks to your inspiration!

Oh my gosh WANT. I'm doing steampunk for the first time for Halloween this year, and just trying to find parts for everything let alone steampunk it up is difficult but SUPER fun! What is your favorite attacha-ma-stuff especially when working with metal and plastic?

Good golly that looks beautiful. From what I can see, the color scheme looks absolutely lovely. And I adore that weaved belt! I hope there'll be full photos in the future if it looks that great from such a close up shot. I wish I could pop by Dragon*Con to see in person (along with all the other cool things going on there, lol), but alas this Arizonan can't be up and leaving state any time soon.(long-time reader, first-time commenter, by the by. c:)

GRRL!!! Why aren't you making stuff to sell on Etsy? I'd buy that in a HEARTbeat! :D

But I gotta ask, what do you use to adhere all these awesome gears and bling to your projects? I loved the flux capacitor pin modification, for example, but have no idea how you made the lovely corner embellishments stick. Inquiring minds (who like to lift ideas and copy things) want to know!!!

I had an idea though: Looks like that button on your vest would be perfect to replace with one of your domed pennies you made for your curtains. I hope that doesn't sound too stalker-ish, being all I know what your house looks like! haha.

Oh, Jen, I have said it before... I love you! :)So sad I didn't plan better and am not there AGAIN. Please post full pictures for those of us too ADD to get our priorities straight. And who have the creativity of a lump of coal. But skillz. Someone give me an idea and I can make it. So thank you for sharing. Now just start selling "kits" for assembly with some raw materials and an idea.

I get the feeling you're going as a steampunk princess (which, given what I know about you, seems entirely appropriate). Love the bracelet.Any chance we'll get a picture of you in full costume afterwards? Please? :) At least the full costume?

Ooh, pretty. With the wings and crown it reminds me of the jewellery at this etsy shop, aka the creater of the bizenghast graphic novels. Which are delightfully creepy/gothic/victorian/ruffly. I can't wait to see more of your costume pictures, the skill and perseverance to put towards creating is very inspiring :).

Ok, I've been looking at this on and off for a while. You need a cool watch fob. (also, have you ever seen those jars of old meatal antique buttons at antique stores? Think about all different buttons.)
